It's just not possible to get a reliable backup of a PST while Outlook is
running. Outlook holds some data in memory until it closes. That data will
be missing and the PST you do manage to back up may be internally
inconsistant.

Hello Brian

Outlook is based on MAPI, and I don't know any data that are flushed
until it closes !
Can you give me some example ?
